Tonight in Secaucus, N.J., the NBA held its annual NBA Draft Lottery to determine the selection order for the 2010 NBA Draft, to be held June 24 at Madison Square Garden.

The 76ers, who entered the lottery with a 5.3 percent chance of winning the No. 1 overall selection, ended up with the 2nd selection in the Draft. The Sixers had a 6.0 percent chance of earning the second pick.

The Sixers, who were represented at the Draft Lottery by rookie point guard Jrue Holiday, finished the 2009-10 season with a record of 27-55.

Evan Turner of Ohio State is projected as the No. 2 pick in the draft.
